Application filed July-15, 1911. Serial No. 638,.825.

' Vertical Coke-Ovens, and of which the following is a specification.

. obtained.

This invention relates to improvements in the construction of whereby the length of the heating-fines is shorter than hitherto, and a more eflicient coking action within the coking chambers is According to this invention, of the coking chambers. is provided with; aplurality of superposed horizontal' heating flues, which extend from end to end thereo and the-oven structure is formed at, each end of each side wall with a vertical passage tive chamber at the respective side of the oven structure, so that heated air from the regenerative chamber at one side of the oven structure, passes up the vertical; "passage communicating therewith, and through the horizontal heating flues (where it meets combustion gases as 1s well known), to the other end of said heating flues, down the vertical passage at that side of the structure, and into and through the regenerative chamber located at that side.

On the drawings, Figures 1 and 1 combinedshow a vertical section taken through the side Wall of an'oven, Fig. 2 being a similar view of a-portion drawn to a larger scale, while Fig. 3 is a horizontal section showing two ovens and the passages aforesaid in the. side walls, the central portion of the structure in each case being broken away.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,

the horizontal fiues l in the side walls 2 of theovens 3 extend from the side walls 41, 5 of the oven structureand are'arrange one above another, there being, in the construction shown particularly at Fig. 3, two vertically superposed series of such heating flues 1, one series adjacentto one oven and the other series adjacent to the other oven, both series being as shown formed inthe same side wall. Formed in or adjacent to the side walls 4, 5 and at the end of each side wall 2 there are vertical flues 6, 7, with which'all the horizontal heating flues 1, in

vertical coke ovens,

each side wall jthe yertical flue 6. communicates with a re generative chamber 1-2;, constructed in any well known manner, which chamber com municates at will, by means of; any suitable vvalves either with a, common uptake for the which communicates with a regenera-' products of combustion or with theopen the side wall 2 communicate, and valves 8,, operated from. the exterior of the structure by handlessuch as 9, are fitted by which any particular horizontal flue 1 can be shut oflfrom communication. with either or .both of the vertical flues 6, 7 For each horizontal heating flue 1 there are fitted two gas supply nozzles 10, 11 one communicating PatentedJune, 1912.; I

air. Similarly as shown in Fig. 1 the vertical flue 7 communicates with a regenerative chamber 13, With, such. an; arrangement 1 gas is supplied byfor, instance the n zzles 10;

at one end; of the structure to the horizon.

ital-1y extending. heat ng fines L and at the same time the valves 8 are opened and heated air passes thereby from, the vertical,

heated, air supply passage 6 to'the said hori'zontal fiues 1, such air being drawn from the regenerative chamber'lil'which has previously been employed for the passage of the products of combustion and is therefore in a heated tate. The products of combustion .then pass through the horizontally extending heating flues 1 in the side walls 2 of the oven and at the opposite ends such products pass downthe vertical flue 7 which at this time acts as the exit flue, vertical flue 7 the products of combustion pass to the regenerative chamber 13 outside the structure of the oven and adjacent to the side Walls of said structure and from thence to the uptake not shown in the drawing. It will be observed that when working in this manner any particular horizontal flue 1 or "any desired number of such flues can be thrown out of operation by adjusting the valves.8'and this without detrimentally affecting anyof those horizontal flues 1 which it is desired shall continue'in work. After the ovens have been at work in this manner for a period, the regenerator 13 is placed-in and byway of this wall having communication with the open air and the re- Although in the example of construction. I have shown each oven (or the heating flues.

in each side wall of an oven) as being served by two regenerative chambers one at each side of the oven'and which arrangement T believe is particularly advantageous, yet 1 would have it understood that in some cases I may employ a regenerative chamber at each side of a set of ovens to serve the flues in the side walls of more than one oven.

It will be obvious that instead. of employinga set of superposed heating flues each of which has two arms arranged in a horizontal plane in each side wall, (see Fig. 3) the arms of the said heating fines may be arranged in a vertical plane and be utilized in a. wall dividing two ovens to heat the adjacent sides of the two ovens. l

\Vhat I claim as my invention and, desire to secure by Letters Patent. is:

1. Coking ovens, comprising in combination vertical coking chambers surroimded by end and side walls, eachside' wall having a plurality of horizontal superposed heating flues extending through said side wall from end to end thereof, each end of each side a vertical passage, regenerative chambers connet-tml to said vertical passages and communitaiting therewith, means for admitting gas to said horizontal heating fines at each end thereof, and means for controlling the passage of products of combustion through one or more of the horizonta heating fines independent of the other fines.

2. Coking ovens, comprising in combination vertical coking chambers surrounded by end and side walls, each side wall, which forms a partition between two adjacent coking chambers, having a series of superposed horizontal heating flues extending through said side wall from end to end thereof and in a vertical plane in proximity to the side of one of the coking'chambers,

and a second series of supeposed horizontal heating lilues extending through from end to end thereoi', in proximity to the adjacent coking chamber and in a plane parallel to the 'vertical plane containing theother series of horizontal heating fines, each end of eachside wall having a vertical passage connected to the correspomling end of each horizontal heating flue. regenerative ch. mbers connected to said vertical passages and connnuni'cating therewith, and means for admitting gas to horizontal heating fines at each end thereof, and means for controlling the passage of products of combustion through one or more of the horizontal heating lines independent of the other lines.

.In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in. the presence of two witnesses.
